Instant search: lets you search amongst your contacts phone numbers and email addresses in virtual “real-time.”.We can probably expect complete Outlook/ActiveSync syncronization by the final build. Built-in PIM program, like a mini-Outlook with support for contacts and more.Nevertheless, this is an important feature that was lacking. Built-in virus scanner: it seems they have licensed McAfee’s scanner again, probably only a matter of time before they buy them out :-). Sharing Folders: It’s like sharepoint except (a lot) smaller, you can have a folder on your computer synchronize with your friend’s folder and from there send one another images, files, programs, and more.The biggest change is the overall UI, so we have dedicated an entire section to that below but there are many other new nifty features: This is really the very last thing that the IM world was missing, with it, email (other than correspondances) is officially dead. Some of the most notable new features are “Offline Messaging,” a real godsend that makes it possible to Instant Message your friends even when they are offline. And if it’s not new, it’s been redesigned at the very least. Not necessarily “new” as in “never seen before,” but new as in new for MSN Messenger. However, this latest skin is a job well done.Įverywhere you look, there is something new. Throughout the beta progarm in which NeoSmart Technologies participated, there have been drastic changes in the GUI, and many were either like-it or hate-it style. No matter what you say or where you look, there is one thing that made MSN Messenger and now Windows Live Messenger stands out from the crowd: of all the “big” instant-messaging clients (network-based, not multi-network clients like Miranda), WLM is the only one that has almost every feature imaginable packed in a sleek design that looks great and not “dumbed-down” *cough*Yahoo!*cough* and doesn’t even look slightly bloated and consumes very little system resources.
